Message	Q: Regarding the driver's side front turn signal housing: If the bottom screw is stripped (spinning without any forward/backward movement) and the top screw is fully removed, is there any recommended process for removing the housing? I am a bit wary of prying at the housing. Potential damage including the plastic/lens (which seems brittle), surrounding paint, and any unknown effects of pulling with the screw in place. The end goal is to replace the bulb. Any ideas/recommendations will be appreciated. Thanks
